Hi all,
I have build and maiden Microaces FW190. First - I am not rc expert, and this plane was my first entry into micro rc. So I was little bit unsure how it will end. The result convinced me and I would like recomend it to everyone. Very happy with it and the idea with stickers.

1. Build - it is good to see Jons videos. Do not hassle (easy to say, difficult to do, because it is so enjoying). Keep an eye on geometry always, because with stickers it is not so straightforward, one wrong placed sticker could mess it easily. (I end up using a hotgun to correct it). In other way the build is very addictive and easy process following the manual. You will stop until it is all done. Very nice finish. I also paint all those white areas, corners etc so the model looks really good. Next build I plan to make with realistic canopy and pilot in it.

2. Flying - it is so easy! Passes, loops etc. Mine flew very well from the first throw. Just dont forget to keep correct CG and fly on good weather. AS3X system will be definitelly good help with more wind. Check the engine - when it is running out of battery it could stop and not start again (but the battery is stil ok-just turn off and then on). You can fly it almost everywhere. What I really like, is that the stickers keep this light (70g) model almost unbreakable.

Generally - very happy with the attitude of Microaces team, the precise quality of product and the excellent result at the end.

That means the 1S configuration is 6,4 g lighter than the 2S configuration.
The motor in front is 2,7 g lighter, so there is no chance to get the CG without extra (2-2,5g) death weight in the tail - all in all 8,5 - 9 g extra weight.

Right decesion to use the 1S configuration !

Edit

It's here !!!

I can't believe that - send on friday from the UK and landed today (tuesday) at my door - grrrreat !

First look on both kits - everything seems to be ok, no damage.

Will start with the built today - think it will be a long night today ...

I'm making progress on the review and the replacement kit which Jon was kind enough to forward. There were a couple of minor hiccups during the build of the first one which need repairing. It resulted in a model which would suffer from some cosmetic issues once fixed, but Jon offered an entire replacement.

He has been a friendly, funny and willing source of knowledge and there will be no hiccups on this build. The review will cover the questions I had and the answers which Jon provided. I just completed step 10, FYI. On to the wing!
